Based on what. it fires projectiles intended to end the life of its target. you need to justify your arguments

Theres already evidence that gun proliferation is inherently more harmful and that self-defence doesnt counterbalance the harm brought. People are safer whenever theres no or extremely few guns in the mix as opposed to everyone owning a gun for self defence. Guns for self defence is a self-defeating ideology.

That's where it gets trickier obviously, while I don't disagree with you, you won't see me getting rid of mine because the criminals aren't getting rid of their. If there was a magic solution to wipe the slate fully clean I don't even think I would be against it, but that's impossible.

I don't want to assume how or where you grew up, but I have better odds of not getting murdered with my Ruger.

Also, guns are for neutralizing living things. Let your kid shoot when they're old enough to legally own one, find them a different hobby or let them use a BBQ gun until then.
